A new viral surveillance system in West Africa is showing the world how to prevent the next pandemic

Broad Institute

Technological advances in genomics and data sciences have the potential to transform how we think about detecting and treating deadly and pervasive diseases like Ebola,” Sabeti said. Since 2007, they’d been studying Lassa fever, an often deadly illness caused by infection with the Lassa virus, which is endemic in West Africa.
